The latest of these is meant to offer us a glimpse at the voice recognition capabilities of the device. Through them, users won’t need to do the actual texting, but will simply have to speak the text and commands to the device. 

The Samsung Galaxy S II will recognize these and will send a text for you fast and simple. Thus, you won’t have to keep an eye on the screen at all times and you’ll also have your hands free.

Of course, the same as the other video ads that Samsung aired in the United States, the new clip is meant to pick on iPhone enthusiasts, who are waiting in line out in the cold to acquire a new handset.

USA: Samsung Galaxy II smartphone tops intention to purchase this holiday.

WorldWide Tech & Science. Francisco De Jesús.

Intent to purchase smartphones.Oct 1 to Nov 11, 2011.

  According to SocialNuggest, this chart below shows the % intent to purchase for Top 10 smartphones in the USA.  Besides Galaxy SII, Samsung also has Epic 4G Touch in that list. Apple has both iPhone 4S and its older iPhone 4 in the list though its older iPhone 3 doesn’t appear in the list despite carriers giving it away for free. 

 HTC is the only manufacturer with three smartphones in this list while Motorola has two and RIM has only one smartphone in this list.

Since this data is derived from social media analysis done from Oct through November, some of this data may change with new handset introduction or aggressive pricing from mobile operators or manufacturers themselves. 

Also it is possible that many users wanting to express their intent to purchase iPhone 4S may have only mentioned iPhone 4 in which case Apple iPhone 4S will lead this intent to purchase chart.
